Rieka's expression tightened, Aria didn't have to look down on Noah.“He is not a miserable live-in son-in-law.”“I'll appreciate it if we don't overstep our boundaries.”“Alright!” Aria smiled.“But it's the truth. He has nothing but relies on you and your family for everything…”“We've never complained about Noah to anyone. Everyone should mind his or her business. If you keep talking about my personal life, I'll be forced to excuse you.” Rieka made it clear.“I never meant it that way. Calm down.” Aria apologized. It would be hard for Rieka to accept other people's views about Noah because she loves him.Noah just returned from the restroom.“Noah… You stayed along.” Rieka said.He smiled and patted her cheek lightly.“Are you done eating?”“Yes!”Rieka nodded.There was more food left but Rieka was satisfied with the little she had eaten.“Everything on this table would cost a lot of dollars.”Despite Aria's offer to pay the bills, Rieka was still concerned. She was worried that

CHAPTER 54Immediately, a man approached and placed a pistol against Noah's head.Noah was indifferent.Delph spoke.“Who do you think you are? And what if I played a fast one on you, what can you do?”Just then, the man who held a pistol against Noah's head groaned in pain.Noah had just kicked him in between his thighs.He felt so weak that he dropped his pistol.Quickly, Noah picked up the pistol on the ground and shot the man's leg, with his eyes still fixed on the screen.Delph was left speechless.Despite the numerous men pointing their pistols at Noah, he did not give a damn.Standing up furiously, Delph spoke. “What have you done?”Then he added, “I can't give you the information you seek and mind you there's no refund.”Noah's laughter echoed all over the room.“If you dare me, in the next twenty minutes, a place like this would not exist.”Noah fiddled with the pistol with a mischievous grin on his face. “I'll advise you to appear before me at the count of three or else…”De

“No Mom! I just paid half of the cost of the dress. The purse and the shoes were my last birthday gifts.” “Really?” Lois was surprised. “I've seen this gown on the TV when one luxurious boutique was advertising their latest collection.” “This gown cost about a million dollars.” Rieka widened her eyes. “I don't know the cost. I got it from the chairman of Horizon's boutique, Aria Willy. She even insisted on giving me as a gift but I just paid a little token.” Earlier, Rieka had explained all that happened to Noah. She never expected that the dress would be that expensive. “Wow! She gifted you a very expensive outfit.” Said Lois. Just then, Noah returned with the car key. Lois threw a disdainful gaze at him. Now she felt her daughter deserved someone better. With Rieka's current status and her little business connection, Lois felt Rieka needed a more presentable man. Lois sat beside Rieka, wrapping her hands around her shoulder, and whispered. “Rieka! You have to grab thi

Everyone at the event stared at Kendra and Ussy. They arrived late and yet walked majestically, stealing the moment. Ussy spotted Aria. Holding Kendra’s hands, they approached Aria “Hi Aria, it's nice to meet you. I came on behalf of my family. You look good.” “Hi Aria, congratulations on your new achievement.” Ussy spoke first and Kendra spoke afterwards. Aria smiled. “It's good you came. Better late than never. Make yourself comfortable.” Aria spoke as she pointed to two empty seats and excused herself to use the restroom. Kendra felt proud as she caught a glimpse of the gazes fixed on her. She wore a broad smile as they took their seats. Ussy, who was now sipping his drink, heard a familiar voice. Turning around, he was surprised to see Rieka. Gently, he touched Kendra's hand and turned his neck sideways. Kendra understood his expression and turned around. “Rieka is also here!” “Alongside Noah!” “How did they get in?” Kendra uttered with an angry tone. Ussy couldn'

“I finally knew the reason for the preferential treatment I got from influential people.” Earlier, Rieka didn't know how to get to the root of all that happened. Now she has answers to the questions that raced through her mind.“The person I helped escape from torture five years ago is still alive and trying his best to protect me. He must be doing so to show his appreciation. Although I suffered a lot after taking that action.” Rieka now lowered her voice. “I promise, I don't know that he survived. Men were sent after him and they confirmed they killed him.” “This is serious.” Noah mumbled. “With no iota of doubt, I'll say he took vengeance on the Grichys, Swelvys, and Ariels.” Rieka glanced at Noah. “Do you think he did the right thing by hiding his identity and taking vengeance” Noah asked. “I can't judge. These families committed a grievous crime by destroying his family. If I could see the survivor, then I have a lot to discuss with him.” “Really? Or you'll choose him
